Using Donor Eggs or Sperm Overview
Donated eggs/sperm may be used only with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). After the first part of the IVF process known as egg retrieval, the partner’s eggs (or donor’s eggs) are fertilized with the partner’s sperm (or donor’s sperm). When the embryos are ready, they are transferred to your uterus. Your doctor will have given you medication to time your cycle so that your uterus will be in the right stage to receive the embryos.
Egg and sperm donors are usually between the ages of 21 and 34 and you may choose them from an anonymous database, all donors undergo extensive medical and psychological screening.
The odds of a woman getting pregnant using fresh embryos created from donor eggs are more than 80%. If male factor infertility was the main cause of the couple’s inability to get pregnant, the use of donor sperm also boosts success significantly.
